Mémoires d'Outre-Tombe, Tome 1 by vicomte de François-René Chateaubriand
"Mémoires d'Outre-Tombe, Tome 1" by vicomte de François-René Chateaubriand is a memoir written between 1809 and 1841. Chateaubriand chronicles his life from childhood in Brittany through the tumultuous years of the French Revolution. He recounts his strict upbringing in the castle of Combourg, his solitary wanderings that awakened his literary imagination, and his deep bond with his sister Lucile. The work captures a vanishing aristocratic world, religious doubts, youthful passions, and the
author's eventual flight to America to escape revolutionary violence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
